75th Anniversary Celebration

Dear Families,

You are cordially invited to join us in celebrating our 75th anniversary by walking through our hallways and visiting our classrooms. Richmond School is a vibrant place filled with student works of art and evidence of learning that showcase our connection to the land and our role in the community since 1950. The students at Richmond School show HEART by working in harmony; being engaged and adaptable learners who are encouraged to demonstrate respect and to speak the truth. A collaborative project between Ryan Willard and the students of Richmond School resulted in the creation of a Buffalo Mural. Students are reminded daily of the Buffalo Teaching and their Buffalo Challenge of iiyka’kimaa; to always face their storm and try hard. We look forward to sharing our learning journey with you through videos, artwork, and photographs documenting our process as we explored the various decades leading up to this momentous milestone.
